ATHLETICS. Foot Ball. Although Mynderse had no regular foot ball team in the field this season, a team composed of a number of high school students and a few boys outside was organized under the name ot the Myn-derse Independents. Several games were played in town and out with high school and independent teams. The games at home OFFICERS OF MYNDERSE A TIILETIC ASSOC I A TION.

Four games were won, one tied and live lost Owing to the lack of a coach the team was unable to do its best, but next year it is hoped that a regular high school team will be organized, and a coach provided to train the members. Nothing could prove of more interest to students than a winning football team, and “The Blue and White” wishes next year’s team a most successful season.

Here was met the champion Sky Scrapers in a fast and rather rough game Owing to the lack of good team work on the part of our boys and the much greater weight of their opponents, the game was won by the Sky Scrapers, the result at no time being in doubt. Mynderse Academy, 68. C. R. 11. The next game was played on the home court with the C. R. Class of the Methodist church. The C.

The largest crowd ever before at one of our basket ball games filled old Union Ha l, and her old timbers shook as cheers and songs rose from the supporters of the two teams. The game was a good one and the Waterloo boys struggled hard for victory, but our team was too fast for them and easily rolled up 48 points to their 14. Mynderse A. 23. Palmyra H. S. 45. December the fifth the team journeyed to Palmyra, and in the afternoon met the High School five in the school gymnasium. Owing to the small court and the number of pipes, etc., which formed a net work in the upper part of the gym., our team was uir able to get in any effective team work or to locate the baskets. The game ended in a victory for the Palmyra boys, which they had to fight hard to get. Mynderse A. 28. Auburn Y. M. C. A. 34.
